A delegation from the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises, comprising businessmen and investors, is expected to visit Israel on a Royal Air Maroc flight, opening direct flights between Casablanca and Tel Aviv on March 13.
The three-day visit is “part of a series of visits between the two parties to sign agreements and strengthen bilateral economic cooperation,”, especially after the recent visit of Israeli Economy Minister Orna Barbivai to Morocco.
The Moroccan delegation will be headed by Chakib Laalj, head of the General Confederation of Moroccan Enterprises, according to Israeli newspapers.
“The mission’s goal is to explore several means to enhance economic and trade relations, and to create strong synergies between the Moroccan and Israeli business communities,” sources from the Confederation said.
The meeting follows a visit by Israeli Economy Minister Orna Barbivai who signed in Rabat “a historic cooperation agreement” aiming to boost trade from the current $131 million to $500 million.
During her trip, Barbivai said she was “pleased” with the constant evolution of bilateral relations between Morocco and Israel, reaffirming the “willingness of the Israeli government to build a strong foundation for strategic partnership with Morocco to boost constructive and sustainable economic relations between the two countries.”
Bilateral relations between both countries come as a result of established diplomatic ties in December 2020, driven by US-led Abraham Accords.
